MBTI – Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

What is the MBTI?

The MBTI is a personality profile that seeks to explain why different types of people are interested in different things, why they are better at certain types of tasks and why sometimes they find it difficult to understand each other.

It also allows the identification of individual learning approach and a constructive understanding of diversity in teams.

The MBTI identifies differences among people in terms of their preferences in four dimensions:

• Source of Energy (E/I)
• Taking in information (S/N)
• Decision Making (T/F)
• Lifestyle (J/P)

The results of the MBTI provide a profile with 16 types related to the intersection of the above mentioned dimensions (for example, ISTJ, ENTJ ...).

The MBTI is the behavioral instrument most widely used in the world: every year, 3.5 million people take the MBTI and it is based on over 50 years of research.

Insights Discovery

What is Insights Discovery?

The Insights system was developed based on the personality model of the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung.

Using the typology of Jung, the Insights Discovery Evaluator is a personal development tool that helps individuals to better understand themselves and others, allowing the development of more effective interactions that enhance organizational development.

Research suggests that a good self-knowledge of strengths and weaknesses allows individuals to develop strategies for effective interaction and helps them to better respond to organizational demands.
